This amazing applique fabric post card from Mimi Kirchner just arrived and it's singing "Spring Spring"! I love it so much. I wish you could see the detail on this, it's so perfectly done. The sweet face is painted on and she's signed it on the back. I already have the perfect frame for it. Mimi also makes some of the MOST beautiful cloth textile dolls I've ever seen--some are sold here. Take a peek, if you dare. Um. Maybe a warning is in order: Entering adorable doll zone; possible point of no return.
Ok, you can go now, but don't say I didn't warn ya.
What a happy post, Vicki! That postcard is amazing. I'm off to check out those dolls, now :) Have a lovely day, and happy spring!

I love Carruth! I have lots of his designs all over my yard. We're lucky that not too far from here there's an 'outlet' store, where they sell seconds. They cost much less, which means you can buy much more! It's always hard to make a decision when I go in. I can't wait to see your garden plans...happy spring!

Aren't you lucky to have a sweet little something from Mimi? I adore her work and cannot believe how talented she is!
I love the Carruth statues, too. They are so sweet and look like you could just snuggle up to them! That Sweet Pea Pixie is darling (it's the ladybug that takes it over the top, though)!

I love the thought of being back in the garden again, but haven't had a chance yet. I'm looking forward to watching yours evolve.
I've enjoyed looking at Mimi K's dolls and fabric ATC's. How nice for you to actually own one of her artworks.
The pixie is a charmer.
A happy spring to you!

We are not supposed to plant here this year until April 15 (last day of frost and tax day!) but I can't wait to get started. Hubby made a suggestion that I put some cute garden ornaments in with the flowers this year. I love the one pictured here!
